POSH | Ocean Views, Heated Pool & Elevator

**Fantastic beach access, beautiful ocean views, and plenty of room for the whole family!**



Welcome to POSH (Port Out Starboard Home), a spacious 6-bedroom, 5-bathroom beach home on beautiful Oak Island, North Carolina. With room for up to 18 guests, a private saltwater pool, an elevator, and the beach access directly across the street, POSH is the perfect place to bring generations of family and friends together.



**A Beach Vacation Made Easy**



Forget loading the car with beach gear or searching for parking! The 11th Street public beach access is directly across from POSH, making it easy to come and go throughout the day. Head out for an early morning walk, return for lunch or a break from the sun, and wander back to the beach whenever you like.



Enjoy beautiful ocean views from the top-floor great room and four private balconies. Oak Island's south-facing shoreline offers wonderful opportunities to watch both sunrises and sunsets over the water.



**Room to Gather, Space to Unwind**



POSH was designed with extended families in mind. The spacious top-floor great room offers comfortable seating, ocean views, and dining space for everyone to enjoy meals together.



The fully equipped kitchen makes cooking for a crowd easier, with two full-size refrigerators and two dishwashers. An additional kitchenette and second living room provide even more flexibility for large groups.



With six bedrooms, five bathrooms, and three king bedrooms with private bathrooms, there's plenty of space to spread out. Whether you're gathering for family game night or finding a quiet corner to read, everyone can enjoy the vacation at their own pace.



**Your Own Private Pool and Backyard Retreat**



After a morning at the beach, come home to your private saltwater pool and beautifully redesigned backyard. The spacious new composite deck creates a wonderful outdoor gathering area, with plenty of room to lounge in the sunshine, enjoy a swim, or spend time together.



Fire up the gas grill for an easy family dinner, relax poolside, or enjoy a little friendly competition with a game of cornhole. Pool toys and beach towels are provided.



Pool heating is available seasonally and is unavailable November through February.



**Thoughtful Extras for a Comfortable Stay**



We've tried to make traveling with a large group as easy as possible. You'll enjoy:



- Elevator access between floors

- High-quality linens and towels provided

- Beach chairs, beach towels, and pool toys

- Fully equipped kitchen plus additional kitchenette

- Two refrigerators and two dishwashers

- Indoor and outdoor dining areas

- Four balconies

- Parking for up to eight vehicles

- EV charger

- Gas grill

- Private saltwater swimming pool



**Discover Oak Island**



POSH is located in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood near the Ocean Crest Fishing Pier. Oak Island is known for its wide sandy beaches, relaxed atmosphere, and beautiful coastal scenery.



Spend your days hunting for seashells, fishing, biking, exploring nearby Southport, or simply enjoying the ocean.



Summer is wonderful here, but the quieter seasons have their own special charm. Imagine long walks on an almost-empty beach, watching the waves roll in, and returning to a comfortable home filled with the people you love.



**Gather at the beach. Make yourself at home. Make some memories.**



We'd love to welcome you to POSH!

Great stay with a group of friends. Four king bedrooms was a bonus. Comfy and cozy seating area in the living room area. It was a stormy weekend, so we didn't get to use the outdoor amenities, but the pool area looked super fun.

Could have had better cleaning, fruit flies throughout house. The pool floor was 2/3 covered in sand, bad idea to have sand by the pool with coastal winds, to add, fine ground mulch in the same area was floating on top of the pool water. Expected more for 1600 a night.

Wonderful

Easy access to beach- great location! The house had everything we needed and the bedroom set up worked well for our family. Since we had young children, the sandy area near the pool made the pool deck hard to keep clean and keep the kids from tracking in sand to the house. Overall would highly recommend!

Beautiful property. Perfect area for our family and views were almost like being ocean front. We spent a lot of time on front porch seeing dolphins every day. Backyard was great with pool and sand area for little ones. So many refrigerators and large TVs throughout the house. Kerry our host was quick to respond to any questions we had.

Bachelorette weekend perfection

Our bride wanted a low key, small town beach feel for her bachelorette and Oak Island was the most perfect place. We had 12 girls and Kerry’s place was absolutely PERFECT for us. Steps from the beach and an access point made it super easy to come and go as we needed! The pool at the house was perfect when we wanted a break from the beach. Her checkin/checkout processes, communication, and kindness was absolutely incredible. She was so responsive and so helpful - even to the point where I was having trouble getting hold of a local restaurant to make a dinner reservation and she offered to make it for me. The house had more amenities than most like kcups for coffee, toilet paper, dish soap, beach towels, etc. It’s truly perfect for a large group of family or friends! We loved our stay there and the next time I have a big group for a beach vacation, we will be back!
